Saw a poll of "Who is the worst Harem Master" in the biggest anime website in Vietnam. Frankly, I must compliment Izuru for making IS into a rom-com. Heck, half of my friend there don't give a damn on the fighting.

Also, shame on you, the fast-living person! Industrial style of life really have dulled your sense of true artistic appreciation.

At least I'm assured that Ichika's actually too dense and isn't doing this intentionally. IMHO, the worst Harem Master (or attempted harem master) would be Makoto from School Days. Because he's doing it ON PURPOSE.

I watched Eps 1-4 and reread Vol 5, a few differences. At first I was annoyed, but now it's given me a few new ideas to play with...

Quote:

"Yo."

Autumn turned around to the unexpected voice. A girl, of the same age as the students of IS Academy. A baseball cap crowned a head of short black hair, and for a second Autumn thought it was M speaking to her. But no, the girl's voice was different. As were the piercing, snakelike eyes.

"Makigami Reiko, I presume?"

"You must be mistaken," taken aback, Autumn smiled falsely at the girl. "My name is Ayako. Makigami Ayako."

"You're a lousy liar. And an even worse assassin."

The elder woman did a double-take. "Excuse me?"

"Your calling card says Reiko." <Ren> pulled out a familiar card, one Autumn did not remember giving out. "You didn't even bother memorizing your own cover story, do you? You're painfully bad at this line of work."

Not to sound like I'm defending the guy but Touma has legit reasons for not taking advantage of his harem. I doubt you'd jump a girl in real life just cause she stutters around you now and then or cause she made you cookies, or because she physically abuses you.

and I'm not sure if it's being a good guy or dense guy to not jump a girl after she confesses to you when you know that she isn't referring to this version of you.

Ichika basically had the girls walk to him naked and he still interprets it as nothing. That's a whole different case.

Also, how many here think that you were born with writing talent. For example, my twin brother could never match my way of using words, just like how I couldn't building up a good setting and situations like him.

The reason Ichika can pilot the IS, is because Ichika is the IS, or rather he is all of the IS cores made, and all IS cores that will be made?

When Tabane approached the Orimura siblings, she saw that the elder sister had unlimited talent, skill beyond imagine. Then she laid eyes on Ichika, barely above a toddler, his eyes were on the sky and she could already tell he had infinite potential.

That became Tabane's inspiration for Infinite Stratos.

At 5 years of age, Tabane and Chifuyu had come to an agreement to have Ichika help them with their Infinite Stratos research. The system was to be based upon Ichika's own psyche. But the progress was slow, to the point the government had pulled their research funding. One day, Chifuyu came to the lab to see Ichika and Tabane sleeping in the lab, with the IS completely operational with all predicted functionalities and parameters. A little while later, Chifuyu was exposed to the fact Ichika had lost all his memories. When Chifuyu went to confront Tabane, the mad scientist had already disappeared, leaving a launch prepped White Knight IS, the first true IS. On a computer screen showed a massive number of ballistic data for nuclear missiles and their corresponding targets. Chifuyu had no idea what it was, but she knew that the target of all those missiles was one place, the research center she and Ichika were at. So she used the White Knight to protect what was most important to her.

Years later, Tabane reveals that she remembers why IS only respond to women and Ichika. Because it is based on his psyche. The last experiment directly linked Ichika's mind to the IS cores and an overload occured. Effectively it killed the mental Ichika then, leaving one with effective amnesia.

The infinite potential that lay within Ichika and the fact Ichika himself is male. Those gave the infinite stratos its unique traits of evolution and being female only use.
